Get down to the job for years: Submersible borehole pumps from KSB

Why is supplying water with KSB’s submersible borehole pumps so reliable and efficient? Because they’re totally dependable, year after year.

We design each pump and drive to match the specific application, fluid and power requirements - which puts you on track for energy-efficient operation and low life cycle costs. Thanks to the many combination options KSB customers are able to configure the right pump for every requirement, application and project size. Submersible borehole pumps achieve heads of up to 1,550 metres, equalling pressures of more than 150 bar. The pump sets can be supplied for either 50 or 60 Hz and suitable voltages. The material variants are precisely matched to the fluid handled and the temperature. The maintenance-free submersible borehole pumps come in a favourable design. Being particularly slim, they are well-suited to installation in:

Once installed, submersible borehole pumps are characterised by their durability and wear resistance. Consequentially, energy costs make up 90 % of the entire life cycle costs. This is where huge savings can be made with the UMA-S synchronous motor, thus increasing the overall efficiency of your installation.

Minimising energy costs with UMA-S

With KSB’s UMA-S synchronous submersible motor you not only provide your submersible borehole pump with a powerful and reliable partner for all fluids and operating conditions. You will also be operating your submersible borehole pump more efficiently than ever before – continuously, for decades. Because the submersible motor keeps the energy and operating costs to a minimum and helps achieve top results.

The submersible motors’ efficiency advantages over common asynchronous motors, even at fixed speed, equal a minimum of twelve percent – at full compatibility. Combined with an integrated speed control system you can even save up to 40 percent in energy costs, thanks to the optimised operating mode.
This graphic shows a comparison between the UMA-S permanent-magnet synchronous motor and a common asynchronous squirrel-cage motor at full speed.

UPA 150C submersible borehole pumps by KSB - high operating reliability, long service life

Well pump measurement by KSB - keeping an eye on energy costs in well systems

Submersible borehole pump efficiency is a crucial factor in groundwater pumping: Poor efficiency will cause high energy costs. KSB tests the pump in the well by means of special measurements and determines the pump’s overall efficiency.

KSB has carried out more than 4000 well pump measurements. The tests have revealed that one third of all measured submersible borehole pumps were operated at an overall efficiency below 40 percent. They used far too much energy and pumped the water uneconomically.

Given that well pumps often run thousands of hours per year, improving the overall efficiency by even a small percentage will yield significant energy savings for the wells.

Often, the energy costs saved in a single year exceed the price of a new, optimised pump.

Benefits of KSB’s well pump measurement
